Decorating Ideas For Kids’ Bedrooms

*This is a collaborative post.

It is exciting being a parent. There are no two ways around it, for all the early morning pillow patrols, mood swings, terrible two’s, and more – it remains the very best job in the world. Having kids running around your home reminds all of us not to take life too seriously, to allow room for play, and not to place too high a store on expensive things – a lesson we usually only need to learn that one time.

But you can still have a stylish and neat-looking home while accommodating your kids no matter how rambunctious they might be.

When It Comes To Paint Jobs

Two words: washable walls. Choose paint in a variety of colours that work for your kids play spaces and make sure to choose the kind of paint that can be washed – regularly, you don’t want to stifle your kids’ creativity, so if their inner Picasso emerges on the walls of their bedrooms – what a great memory and photo opportunity, right before you wash it clean for the next round.

Washable And Stain-Resistant Textiles

These include curtains, table cloths, rugs, table coverings, sofa or couch covers – you get the idea. You kissed that $ 10 000 sofa goodbye the day you found out you were pregnant, so make your peace with that. But, it doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice having ‘nice things’. Minimizing risk is important, so choose paints, crayons, and colouring tools that are easy to clean and manage.

Storage Matters

Keeping everything in its place strikes a visual impact and it also helps keep you sane besides. So check Tylko’s best chest of drawers for storage ideas that work, are functional, and look fabulous as well.

In your kids’ rooms, you can go to town with custom-made and installed shelving and box-type storage with tops that double as play and work surfaces too. For a fun and imaginative touch in your kids’ rooms, consider incorporating teepee beds into the design. These whimsical beds not only provide a cozy space for your children to sleep but also double as play areas where they can let their creativity run wild.

Bragging Rights

Make dedicated spaces in the main living areas of your home for your kids’ artworks. Think about wrought iron poles alongside a dining room for hanging artworks or special places in living areas and kitchens that are exclusively occupied by the handiwork of your little people. This has a sentimental quotient that’s hard to beat, but it also shows your kids that you take their flights of fancy seriously and that what is important to them – is also important to you.

Quality Time – Functional Time

Dedicating time to pursue arts and crafts with your kids not only creates valuable bonding time but can also be a time where you create items that can be used around your home as well. This again is like dedicated spaces for your kids’ artwork, but it also teaches them that artwork or pursuing a creative task can have a practical function as well and who knows where that level of imagination will take them.

Involve Your Kids In Your Ideas

Making unilateral decisions will exclude your kids from the spaces they’re meant to occupy and this makes for uncomfortable feelings of detachment from their own spaces. So get their feedback too, you’ll love the responses that you get.
